About Kokotree.
Love to learn.
Kokotree is an educational app that helps toddlers and preschoolers learn important life skills.
As parents, we know how busy life can get. Between work, chores, and everything else, finding time to teach your child can be tough. And with so many streaming services available, it can be difficult to find one that is both safe and educational for your child.
That's why we created Kokotree - a mobile app with a curriculum full of educational cartoons and videos that teach your child important topics like reading, writing, counting, and numbers.
By using our app, you can rest assured that your child is learning in a safe and fun way. We help your child learn about the world around them, how to get along with others, and how to understand their feelings.
And the best part? Kokotree's user-friendly interface allows your child to explore new educational content with just a few taps, giving you the freedom to focus on your work or household chores.
But that's not all, our app is designed to inspire your child to explore their own ideas and develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime.
With Kokotree, you can feel good knowing that your child is learning and developing important life skills, even when you don't have time to teach them yourself. Our app is a safe, fun, and effective way to help your child learn and grow.

Our story.
Kokotree was born out of our cofounder's desire to make learning more accessible for his daughter. As she was becoming a toddler, Vivek and his wife realized it can be difficult—and sometimes even unrealistic—to maintain a no-device policy for long. Like millions of parents worldwide, they want to provide the best education possible for their daughter.
Like anyone, he searched the internet for educational videos for toddlers and preschoolers. What he found was dizzying and shocking—hundreds of different apps and websites claiming to be the best for learning. He was overwhelmed, and his daughter moved from one app to another without much structure or learning objectives.
And not only that, but what shocked him was the advertisements, inappropriate content, and sometimes questionable practices by some apps and streaming services. He knew this was not the experience he wanted for his daughter—and it was not what other parents were looking for either.
So he set out to create a new company that would prioritize learning and development over marketing campaigns and flashy visuals. One that would be guided by real early childhood education and development experts. And one that would be safe, ad-free, and free from in-app purchases and invasive third-party tracking.
That's how Kokotree was born—an app designed to help young children learn through play, with simple videos and fun and educational activities. Whether your child is just learning their first words or is ready to start learning numbers and letters, Kokotree will help them grow and thrive. And with our dedication to quality content and zero tolerance for inappropriate material, you can trust that your child will have a safe, positive experience with Kokotree.
